With Star Wars: The Old Republic officially in full swing now, we're going to be starting a weekly article on StarWarsMMO.net in which we feature screenshots taken by you fans titled "Alderaan News Holopics". This is one of the places you can submit a screenshot for use in the article, simply leave a screenshot with a caption or blurb describing the shot and we'll stick it in next week's article. Some quick tips for taking screenshots...

- Hit Alt + Z in the game before you hit Prt Scrn to hide the UI and take a much cleaner shot
- Screenshots taken via the Prt Scrn button on the keyboard are automatically stored in a SWTOR folder in your "My Documents" folder
- You can use the mouse wheel to zoom in all the way and get shots from your characters POV
- Holding the left click on the mouse allows you to freely rotate the camera for different angles
- Explore, explore, explore there is a lot of scenery in the galaxy!

If you need an alternate place to submit your screenshots you either PM me here on LF or e-mail me at mav@starwarsmmo.net I hope you all are having a very Merry Christmas and a festive holiday season.

It's dumping JPGs in Documents\Star Wars - The Old Republic\Screenshots\ for me. I don't recall having to enable it in the preferences or anything. Maybe check the key bindings page and make sure it hasn't been disabled or assigned to another key.

It works! I was in the habit of holding alt when i hit print screen (this captures the active window only) and that will prevent SWTOR from saving the image. Hitting prntscrn by itself automatically saves the image!

I haven't posted any pics of my character until now, as I'm just getting the hang of screenshots. I don't take good pictures IRL, and I don't think my virtual photography skills are any better. But here goes nothing.

So, here is Captain Miqui, Scrapper Scoundrel, deciding to take a day off in Nar Shaddaa.

This seems like a normal picture at first, showing off an Imp soldier on Hoth. But this is actually a Republic base, and just a few minutes ago, this guy was surrounded by four Republic commandos. Even after defeating their boss, the guy just stands there. Creepy.
